Example. This Example
is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the
Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain equal to the Total Annual Fund
Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement in the first year and the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses thereafter.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
| 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years | |
| Class A | $681 | $959 | $1,258 | $2,105 |
| Class B | $714 | $963 | $1,338 | $2,260 |
| Class C | $314 | $663 | $1,138 | $2,451 |
| Class Y | $113 | $355 | $ 616 | $1,362 |
You would pay the following
expenses if you did not redeem your shares:
| 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years | |
| Class A | $681 | $959 | $1,258 | $2,105 |
| Class B | $214 | $663 | $1,138 | $2,260 |
| Class C | $214 | $663 | $1,138 | $2,451 |
| Class Y | $113 | $355 | $ 616 | $1,362 |
Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result
in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s
portfolio turnover rate was 18% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net
assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of small- and/or mid-capitalization issuers, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities.
The Fund invests primarily in equity securities and
depositary receipts of domestic and foreign issuers. The principal types of equity securities in which the Fund invests are common and preferred stock.
1
Invesco Global Small & Mid Cap Growth Fund
invesco.com/usGSMG-SUMPRO-1
The Fund invests primarily in securities of issuers
that are considered by the Fund’s portfolio managers to have potential for earnings or revenue growth.
The Fund considers an issuer to be a
small-capitalization issuer if it has a market capitalization, at the time of purchase, no larger than the largest capitalized issuer included in the Russell 2000® Index during the most
recent 11-month period (based on month-end data) plus the most recent data during the current month. As of October 31, 2014, the capitalization of companies in the Russell 2000® Index
ranged from $12.7 million to $5.8 billion.
The
Fund considers an issuer to be a mid-capitalization issuer if it has a market capitalization, at the time of purchase, within the range of the largest and smallest capitalized issuers included in the Russell Midcap® Index during the most recent 11-month period (based on the month-end data) plus the most recent data during the current month. As of October 31, 2014, the capitalization of companies in
the Russell Midcap® Index ranged from $257.4 million to $28.4 billion.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will provide
exposure to investments that are economically tied to at least three different countries, including the U.S. The Fund may also invest up to 35% of its net assets in securities of issuers located in emerging markets countries, i.e., those that are in
the initial stages of their industrial cycles.
Historically the Fund has not hedged the currency
exposure created by its investments in foreign securities but has the ability to do so if deemed appropriate by the Fund’s portfolio managers.
The Fund can invest in derivative instruments,
including forward foreign currency contracts and futures contracts.
The Fund can use forward foreign currency contracts
to hedge against adverse movements in the foreign currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated.
The Fund can use futures contracts to gain exposure
to the broad market in connection with managing cash balances or to hedge against downside risk.
The portfolio managers employ a disciplined
investment strategy that emphasizes fundamental research. The fundamental research primarily focuses on identifying quality growth companies and is supported by quantitative analysis, portfolio construction and risk management. Investments for the
portfolio are selected bottom-up on a security-by-security basis. The focus is on the strengths of individual issuers, rather than sector or country trends. The portfolio managers’ strategy primarily focuses on identifying issuers that they
believe have sustainable above-average earnings growth, efficient capital allocation, and attractive prices.
The Fund’s portfolio managers may consider
selling a security for several reasons, including when (1) its price changes such that they believe it has become too expensive, (2) the original investment thesis for the company is no longer valid, or (3) a more compelling investment opportunity
is identified.
Principal Risks of Investing in the
Fund
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk
of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase
during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Depositary Receipts Risk. Depositary receipts involve many of the same risks as those associated with direct investment in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts, particularly unsponsored or
unregistered depositary receipts, are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications to the holders of such receipts or to pass through to them any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities.
Derivatives Risk.
The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to
the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its
obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a
result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase
the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse
market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s
ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.
Developing/Emerging Markets Securities Risk. The prices of securities issued by foreign companies and governments located in developing/emerging markets countries may be affected more negatively by inflation, devaluation of their currencies, higher transaction
costs, delays in settlement, adverse political developments, the introduction of capital controls, withholding taxes, nationalization of private assets, expropriation, social unrest, war or lack of timely information than those in developed
countries.
Foreign Securities Risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in a foreign country’s exchange rates, political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulties when enforcing
obligations, decreased liquidity, and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
Geographic Focus Risk. From time to time the Fund may invest a substantial amount of its assets in securities of issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. If the Fund focuses its investments in this manner, it
assumes the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries will have a significant impact on its investment performance. The Fund’s investment performance may also be more volatile if it focuses its investments in
certain countries, especially emerging markets countries.
Growth Investing Risk. Growth stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared with other types of stock. As a result they tend to be more sensitive to changes in their earnings and can be more
volatile.
Management Risk. The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
Market Risk. The
prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment, general economic and market conditions, regional or global instability, and currency and interest rate
fluctuations.
Preferred Securities
Risk. Preferred securities may include provisions that permit the issuer, in its discretion, to defer or omit distributions for a certain period of time. If the Fund owns a security that is deferring or omitting its
distributions, the Fund may be required to report the distribution on its tax returns, even though it may not have received this income. Further, preferred securities may lose substantial value due to the omission or deferment of dividend
payments.
Small- and Mid-Capitalization
Risks. Stocks of small- and mid-sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments and may
2
Invesco Global Small & Mid Cap Growth Fund
invesco.com/usGSMG-SUMPRO-1
have little or no operating history or track record of success, and
limited product lines, markets, management and financial resources. The securities of small- and mid-sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid
or restricted as to resale, or may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.
Performance Information
The bar chart and performance table provide an indication of the risks
of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of the Fund from year to year as of December 31. The performance table compares the Fund's performance to that of a broad-based securities market benchmark, a style specific
benchmark and a peer group benchmark comprised of funds with investment objectives and strategies similar to those of the Fund. For more information on the benchmarks used see the “Benchmark Descriptions” section in the prospectus. The
Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of its future performance. Updated performance information is available on the Fund's Web site at www.invesco.com/us.

Example. This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the
Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain equal to the Total Annual Fund
Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement in the first year and the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses thereafter.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower,
based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
| 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years | |
| Class R5 | $99 | $311 | $541 | $1,200 |
Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result
in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s
portfolio turnover rate was 18% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net
assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in securities of small- and/or mid-capitalization issuers, and in derivatives and other instruments that have economic characteristics similar to such securities.
The Fund invests primarily in equity securities and

ranged from $12.7 million to $5.8 billion.
The
Fund considers an issuer to be a mid-capitalization issuer if it has a market capitalization, at the time of purchase, within the range of the largest and smallest capitalized issuers included in the Russell Midcap® Index during the most recent 11-month period (based on the month-end data) plus the most recent data during the current month. As of October 31, 2014, the capitalization of companies in
the Russell Midcap® Index ranged from $257.4 million to $28.4 billion.
Under normal circumstances, the Fund will provide
exposure to investments that are economically tied to at least three different countries, including the U.S. The Fund may also invest up to 35% of its net assets in

Principal Risks of Investing in the
Fund
As with any mutual fund investment, loss of money is a risk
of investing. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit in a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. The risks associated with an investment in the Fund can increase
during times of significant market volatility. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
Depositary Receipts Risk. Depositary receipts involve many of the same risks as those associated with direct investment in foreign securities. In addition, the underlying issuers of certain depositary receipts, particularly unsponsored or
unregistered depositary receipts, are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications to the holders of such receipts or to pass through to them any voting rights with respect to the deposited securities.
Derivatives Risk.
The value of a derivative instrument depends largely on (and is derived from) the value of an underlying security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index or other asset (each referred to as an underlying asset). In addition to risks relating to
the underlying assets, the use of derivatives may include other, possibly greater, risks, including counterparty, leverage and liquidity risks. Counterparty risk is the risk that the counterparty to the derivative contract will default on its
obligation to pay the Fund the amount owed or otherwise perform under the derivative contract. Derivatives create leverage risk because they do not require payment up front equal to the economic exposure created by owning the derivative. As a
result, an adverse change in the value of the underlying asset could result in the Fund sustaining a loss that is substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative, which may make the Fund’s returns more volatile and increase
the risk of loss. Derivative instruments may also be less liquid than more traditional investments and the Fund may be unable to sell or close out its derivative positions at a desirable time or price. This risk may be more acute under adverse
market conditions, during which the Fund may be most in need of liquidating its derivative positions. Derivatives may also be harder to value, less tax efficient and subject to changing government regulation that could impact the Fund’s
ability to use certain derivatives or their cost. Also, derivatives used for hedging or to gain
or limit exposure to a particular market segment may not provide the
expected benefits, particularly during adverse market conditions.
Developing/Emerging Markets Securities Risk. The prices of securities issued by foreign companies and governments located in developing/emerging markets countries may be affected more negatively by inflation, devaluation of their currencies, higher transaction
costs, delays in settlement, adverse political developments, the introduction of capital controls, withholding taxes, nationalization of private assets, expropriation, social unrest, war or lack of timely information than those in developed
countries.
Foreign Securities Risk. The Fund’s foreign investments may be affected by changes in a foreign country’s exchange rates, political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulties when enforcing
obligations, decreased liquidity, and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.
Geographic Focus Risk. From time to time the Fund may invest a substantial amount of its assets in securities of issuers located in a single country or a limited number of countries. If the Fund focuses its investments in this manner, it
assumes the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries will have a significant impact on its investment performance. The Fund’s investment performance may also be more volatile if it focuses its investments in
certain countries, especially emerging markets countries.
Growth Investing Risk. Growth stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared with other types of stock. As a result they tend to be more sensitive to changes in their earnings and can be more
volatile.
Management Risk. The investment techniques and risk analysis used by the Fund’s portfolio managers may not produce the desired results.
Market Risk. The
prices of and the income generated by the Fund’s securities may decline in response to, among other things, investor sentiment, general economic and market conditions, regional or global instability, and currency and interest rate
fluctuations.
Preferred Securities
Risk. Preferred securities may include provisions that permit the issuer, in its discretion, to defer or omit distributions for a certain period of time. If the Fund owns a security that is deferring or omitting its
distributions, the Fund may be required to report the distribution on its tax returns, even though it may not have received this income. Further, preferred securities may lose substantial value due to the omission or deferment of dividend
payments.
Small- and Mid-Capitalization
Risks. Stocks of small- and mid-sized companies tend to be more vulnerable to adverse developments and may have little or no operating history or track record of success, and limited product lines, markets,
management and financial resources. The securities of small- and mid-sized companies may be more volatile due to less market interest and less publicly available information about the issuer. They also may be illiquid or restricted as to resale, or
may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes, all of which may cause difficulty when establishing or closing a position at a desirable price.
